Article source: PALMA Located in the town of Sayulita, on the Mexican pacific coast, the immediate the land on which the project was to be developed is dominated by beautiful jungle views, which inevitably became central to the architectural concept. Hoping to tap into the tourist rental market, the clients requested a detached one-bedroom unit which we placed at the lower end of the lot, above a 2 car garage and storage space.

On the ground floor, the dining and living rooms open up towards the views with an open kitchen as an articulating element between them. A pool terrace extends out towards the views and two patios in the back allow for a fresher, more intimate outdoor living space. These patios create significant cross-ventilation in the common spaces and guest room. When all the windows and doors are open, the breeze is always present and the temperature is pleasant even without the use of air-conditioning.

An overhang and balcony all along the facade on the second story protects the upper level from direct sunlight in the mornings. The view is framed between this overhang and balcony wall and provides privacy despite full-height windows. On the roof, 12 solar panels were installed to reduce electrical consumption from the grid.

The intention was to maintain the connection with those earthy tones throughout the project: A rough and fine pigmented stucco was used for the walls, earthy gravel aggregate concrete floors for exterior, wood details and traditional terracotta tiles for the interior spaces.
